PM’s political adviser HT Imam is no more. His body must have been taken to Sirajganj’s Ullapara upazila by helicopter around 9.30am this morning. The first namaz-e-janaza will be held at 11am at Ullapara Akbar Ali Government College ground, said Barua, who also serves as the special assistant to the prime minister. There are different myths about him. Some say he is the most intelligent person. As a result, Sheikh Hasina gets the best methodology from him. And subsequently, she wins the national polls. Some say, as long as he is alive, Sheikh Hasina will remain indomitable. These myths are not unreliable. Everyone knows how long she has been in power. Whatever the facts, it is clear that HT Imam was the most intelligent person among Awami personalities. He contributed to Sheikh Hasina's regime to the utmost. Repley's Believe It on Not! However, after the namaz-e-janaza, the body will be brought back to Dhaka by helicopter and kept at the Central Shaheed Minar from 1.30pm to 3.30pm for public homage. His second namaz-e-janaza will be held at Dhaka’s Gulshan Azad Mosque after Asr prayers. Later, the Dhaka district administration will provide guard of honour to him at Banani Graveyard premises where he will be laid to rest, Barua added.
